    Default The Grinder Group 3

    You find yourself standing in the basement, finding the secret entrance to the Grinder after a long journey has brought you here. You do not know what perils and horrors await you, but the promise of power is great. You all have your own reasons for being here, but you all stand ready to take the plunge.

    Before you stands a large opalescent sphere, the portal entrance to grinder.

    Where you are now matters far less than where you are going to be. You might be in the city of doors or somewhere else.

    Some rules of posting:
    I'd like you to put the first part of the post in character. Put necessary dice rolls and what not in a spoiler box. See Belial the Leveler's Dungeonkeeper fight threads for an example if you don't understand.

    Post a link to your character sheet, and your statblock(s) in your first post.

    Most of your rolls do; sometimes though I'll be rolling for you if you're not aware of something.

    Uhhh, that's all I can think of right now, but if I change anything I'll put it in the post where I change it and here.


    Good luck!

    Ashierie Softpads

    Appearing from seemingly nowhere (even to the minotaur's keen sense of smell), comes a half-sized figure, far more slender then a halfling. Twirling a small adamantine and oddly intricate mace, Ash reaches to his belt and swaps the crystal in the hilt for another one, before depositing it in a belt loop. His dark exceedingly supple leather armor makes not a move as his glossomar wings blur, holding him in place. He still has no scent, and while his skin is the exceedingly pale green of a fey, it's mottled with red and his hair is streaked with light blue. Shifting, he summons flames which surround his form, and concentrate in his hands. Tossing them from hand to hand in an intricate juggling act, he asks aloud "Why not just blast it?" Under his armor, a semisold blue material can be glimpsed, the same coloration is found if anyone takes the time to inspect his boots. The interior of the black cloak draped over him, in between the wings can be seen as a shimmering waterfall of stars hung frozen in each place, each one seeming to glow, but at as bright as the two crystalline disks on the back of the pixie's gauntlets as he juggles the hellfire. He stands there juggling fire for a second, then all of a sudden a blast of fire similar to the flame he was juggling smashes into him, oblitherating all traces of him.

    He reappears a few feet away, grinning mischeviously and holding up his left hand, around which the hellfire swirls ominously before he closes it into a fist, and the glow on the back of his bracers fades away. Whereupon, bored already, he flies up higher and asks Gor'thok "Care to wrestle a fall or two while we wait for the others to ready themselves?"

    A small, seemingly very fragile Three comes floating in on his cushion of air. He looks to the door, then to the rest of the group, and figures they can get it open without him and says nothing.

    OOC: Three's spells are nearly picked for known. Only that and stat block left to put together. Will edit into this first post when done.

    Ash

    Matching Gor'thok's glance with a steely glare, Ash attempts to initiate a duel of wills before the wrestling breaks out. As he hovers in the air, the pixie keeps the hellfire raging around him, in order to gain the time to match glares before the powerful minotaur leaps.

    Show
    Duel of wills is in Tome of Battle. Page 27. You can Submit, Ignore the Challange, or Participate. However, you know from previous battles, that those who hit/grab at the pixie when he doesn't want to be grabbed at are met with a blast of hellfire that automatically strikes them, and even then, most often thier swings/grabs miss. He's surpressed it before for wrestling matches, and seems to rely entirely on tricks when wrestling, for without them, you easily pin him.

    IF you choose to participate, roll your intimidate check, THEN check this spoiler box.

    Ash

    Holding up three slender fingers, Ash counts out "Dropping Hellfire in 3, 2, 1" as he drops his fingers one by one. Foregoing the chance to gain an unfair upper hand, he counts out, and after one, the flames of the hellfire surrounding him withdraw back inside him as his hands curl to fists, and he tenses to spring.

    +20? Oh, right, Dex check. I was thinking grapple. My bad. Hold up, -4 for being Small, make that a +16, and checking the actual maneuver, it's a +4 bonus on the ability check, not a +8 ... making it +12.
    Gor'thok is large, so +4, +17 for Strength ... that's +21 being tripped by a +12 ... in other words not likely.

    Seeing Gor'thok bracing against him, Ash starts to move forward and darkness spirals in, engulfing him, then dissipates.

    A second later he strides out of the shadow at Gor'thok's back, leaning in to grab him in an attempt at a throw.

    You're right, my bad. I didn't read tripping rules, and when reading the maneuver, I think I read a line of the one next to it 'If you are of a smaller size category you use leverage, misdirection, and trickery to gain a +4 bonus on your dexterity check (if you use that option). C'mon board rollers! I know you hate me, but let the pixie chuck the minotaur into the wall!

    Ash

    The deceptive maneuver turned out to be exactly the trick needed, as Ash appears behind Gor'thok and wrapping his tiny fingers around the minotaur's thick leg, one hand to each side as they won't even wrap around, then throwing his entire body into the roll and flapping his wings mid-roll for added emphasis, he hurls the relative giant ten feet through the air into the dungeon wall. During the entire encounter, a look of intense concentration is on the little pixie's face, and oddly enough, the gems on the back of his gauntlets shed no light at all.

    After Gor'thok cracks into the wall, Ash is over there as quickly as he can, trying to help him up. "Are you ok? Sheeze, shouldn't have thrown you into the wall. I just have this overpowering need to make a name for myself sometimes. Shouldn't do it off your bruised ribs."

    (1d20+27)[40] Melee touch to initiate a grapple. as Ash has no weapons in hand, he doesn't get an AoO. If it misses, it shouldn't, I only need a 3, I try again (1d20+22)[36].
    If either one hits, the opposed grapple check is (1d20+29)[45]. I win on a natural 1, even if Ash gets a 20, because 30 (my lowest possible) is greater than 27 (Ash's highest possible).
    If the first attempt succeeds, I attempt to pin Ash, with another opposed grapple check. (1d20+24)[31]

    Edit: Finally, some good rolls. Haha, Ash just got owned.

    Can you guys let me know what spells you would like from the divine side as buffs? Anything under level 3 can be chained and reach Metamagicked, and on the divine side I have a limit of 2 spells that can be persisted. One persist is used for a personal buff

    I should have the spell list done either tonight or tomorrow.

    Ash

    So as his huge hand goes to close on him, Ash snaps out with one of his gauntlets and forces the minotaur to relinquish his grip. As the tiny fist comes out to parry the blow, the gems on the backs blaze a bright red, glowing as bright as flames, and the little fist even burns as it smacks the much-larger hand aside.

    After the tiny blow, Ash shakes his head at the minotaur "I said a fall didn't I? You fell. Flat on your back. You're lucky I deflected your blow, if I hadn't I would have done the next best thing to break a grapple." And with that, the corona of hellfire blossoms around him. "I can strike with it, even when it's hidden. It took almost all of my concentration to keep from burning you as I threw you. I've told you this before! Why is it you never take the time to think?"

    Spoiler

    AttackOfOpportunity - (1d20+23)[30] AoODamage - (1d2+8)[9] Gauntlets. AoO. Hits, disrupts grapple. 6 of the damage from the gauntlets is fire. Word o' warnin'. Don't press it, or Ash will show you why he goes by the nickname 'Ash'. 15d6+6 damage is nothing to sneeze at. 8d6 of that will be hellfire, and only 6 of that mundane fire.

    Three

    Both Gortok and Ash here a familiar voice in their heads, and not a soothing one.

    "Children, can we focus on the task at hand here please?"

    Three then brings his lute out from his robe, and begins to play a soft tune, hoping to bring the tempers down from his dangerous friends.

    Once. You said 2 falls. Stick to what you say. I growl as I stand up, sticking 1 finger then 2 fingers up.

    Ash has gauntlets? They're not listed on his sheet.

    Don't expect Gor'thok to think overmuch. One of his class features is 'No Time to Think', and look at his mental stats, I'm actually surprised that they're as high as they are.

    Greater Magic Weapon and Magic Vestment are good buffs in general for the party, the Vigor spells are also handy. For Gor'thok specifically, if you have something that gave attacks against him a miss chance, or gave him DR, that would be most appreciated, as his AC is not so great.

    Ash

    Ash continues to glower at Gor'thok the flames raging around him, and yet at the same time a second Ash appears in front of Three saying "What took you so long? I can only throw him around for so long before he does something stupid. You know that."

    At the same time, the first Ash says to Gor'thok "You're strong, as I've told you before, you're one of the strongest beings I've ever met. What you've yet to learn though, is that strength isn't everything. And I told you one or two. After that brutal throw, I wanted to make sure you weren't hurt."

    And with that, both Ashes dissapear from view.

    Everyone else can make a spot check DC: Hide - (1d20+53)[69] to peek in that spoiler. As for buffs level 3 and lower: Magic Vestment is an obvious one (only bought a +1 on my armor for that reason), and two good 10min/level ones that should be of use: Conviction and Ebon Eyes. Personally, I'd like True Seeing if possible, Stoneskin would be nice, and something to give me bonus to deflection and/or natural armor. Ooo, yes. Displacement would be nice here too.

    And dude?
    Gauntlets of Heartfelt blows and of the Master Strategist (Ghostwalk) (Dust of Sneezing & Choking within)
    Emphasis mine. Mix of Gauntlets of Heartfelt Blows and Gloves of the Master Strategist. Paid to put two in one.

    Edit the THIRD: And while I know you have the class feature No Time to Think, Ash doesn't, and hopes that you'll start thinking things out if he shows you the folly of not doing it a few....hundred? thousand? times.

    The only buffs I can think of off the top of my head that I'd like are:

    Blessed Aim (Spell Compendium, 1st level)
    Ebon Eyes (same)
    Aid
    Shield of Faith
    Iron Bones (Spell compendium, 4th level)

    And If you can: Revive Undead (its an arcane spell though...)

    you guys can go in full hit points as long as you're not killing each other outside. You can choose to wait for FF Fanboy or not, as he has not shown up yet (one of you might want to PM him). If you want you can drag his comatose body along with you so that when he does show up he'll be active. Otherwise I'll put him in a different group. Good luck!

    I have to agree with Seff - this place is trying to kill us. We'll need a full team for the best effects, without a full team, we're probably going to get fubared quickly, unless we specifically rebuilt our characters for maximal synergy.

    Ok, you guys can grab anyone who isn't already in a group, or who's joining the group would push it over 6. I think Karsh and Emporer Tippy were a pair, but others can be nabbed individually. But hurry up! I can't wait to maim you folks.

    A team can do worse than be as well-rounded as this. Besides are you worried about your characters dying or something? Lets look the devil in the eye and then decide if help is neccesary.
